Ann Mortifee

Member, Order of Canada.
Singer/songwriter Ann Mortifee has a marvellous vocal range that thrills listeners, while her emotionally powerful poetry is deeply stirring.
A multi-talented composer of musicals, ballet scores and scripts for stage and television, her music offers a sense of social awareness, and her concerts benefit a wide range of worthy causes from the peace movement to environmental protection.

Back by popular demand, Give Peace a Dance returns to St. James Hall on Friday, March 2nd.
This event, featuring the Marcus Mosely Chorale and special guests Ann Mortifee and Russ Rosen, will offer lots of great singing and a chance to dance up a storm.
“The world is a scary place right now,” explains Mosely. “As a child of the 60s I remember the sense of community, compassion, and care for the world that was so closely linked to the music, and the way we would feel that soul and hope move right through our bodies. I wanted to find a way to bring that spirit back to present day. If ever there was a time we needed to come together in peace and hope, its now.”
The show starts at 7:30. Tickets are $30 and can be obtained through Brown Paper Tickets, or by calling the ticket hotline at 604 770-1088.

Singer Ann Mortifee is a genre unto herself. Blessed with a remarkable four-octave range and a gift for impacting hearts with her music and lyrics, her albums, concerts, full-length musicals, scores (ballet, film, opera, TV), and In Love with the Mystery book have generated national/international distinctions and awards. She is an Order of Canada Member, the country’s highest civilian honour. A world traveller, compelling storyteller, and sought-after keynote speaker for major conferences, Ann creates and facilitates inspiring arts and consciousness workshops and co-founded two foundations - for social innovation and for forestry conservation.
